Just a few interviews from our summer staff at the Pedestal 360 site in Baltimore. Check out what they have to say! ••• “This Summer with 360 degrees has been extremely rewarding from the children, to the activities carried out, such as saving your seeds and growing your own food. The children have grown together, along with each other and the Youth workers creating relationships that are and will continue to be memorable” -Breonna
